Our running game was already good last year without the proper personnel. It should be even better this year.Sanchez mentioned going multiple TE's already , with Price, Holt & Kanteman. Scherff looks like he would be a nice piece for depth.
One of the many reasons why CTS hired Barney is because Barney loves running behind heavy sets involving Y-TEs [on the line of scrimmage], H-TEs [in the backfield or on the wing] and H-back/FBs. Go watch some of the Husker v. UCLA Bowl Game for a great example of what I'm talking about. In that game you'll see a lot of the sets he used the years before when he was the running game coordinator at Nebraska. The best runs against UCLA's 3-4 front in the Foster Farms Bowl were with a Y-TE on the line of scrimmage [his son Sam], the H-TE at the wing [Cethan Carter] plus a FB [Janovich] ISO blocking on the Bruins' OLBer. There were times where they lined up with two Y-TEs, one H-TE plus the FB. They simply pounded UCLA for 500 yards primarily using those sets.Sanchez mentioned going multiple TE's already , with Price, Holt & Kanteman. Scherff looks like he would be a nice piece for depth.

I do too. Opposing DCs will have to account for him in defending the run and the passI really like Holt. I think he could produce some match up nightmares.
With Stantons ability to throw and Boyd and Keys getting 1v1 this offense will be able to create some big plays w/ playaction.
